The secret is to sit on top of a mountain and avoid EVERYTHING....especially Human Beings

[@THE003FILES]

Sit anywhere and everywhere...find your spot and place.

[@THE003FILES]

We need to walk with consciousness

[@adriancaldwell]

@@THE003FILES OK but you've got to admit avoidance is a great technique?

[@francometallo215]

@@adriancaldwell No it isn't and it is not daoist. You are just avoiding problems instead of facing them and acting right because of fear/mysanthropy.

[@adriancaldwell]

@@francometallo215 Thank you Frank but I was being facetious. It was in reaction to all these Guru style videos where the imparter of the wisdom always seems to live a life that is in a bubble away from the rat race which in itself is a wise move, however hard to relate to when you're in the thick of it

[@canoslo6126]

How very beautiful the setting you are in! When I start to feel stressed about the virus situation, I spend more time in or watching nature. Despite the chaos in the world now, the spring flowers still bloomed, the sun shone, and the wind still sang through the pines. These things have been, these things will be. And that is comforting and solid.

Thanks for watching.

[@tonipittoni5527]

Very beautiful place and you both look very relaxed I’m happy for them however mr Taoist master I agree with everything you said except the History bit unfortunately and respectfully but you should look back at the Black Death and were it started you will be surprised it’s not a question to blame but if you mention history then it’s important to be scientific so that’s it I think it’s a beautiful video I wish I was there and now I will go back to look after vulnerable pe

[@satnamo]

The greatest fear is the fear of death. But death is nothing to us because when we are here, death is not here; and death is here, we are not here. `Was that life ?' I want to say to death. `Well then! Once more!' What shall I be after death ? Answer: Nothing and everything.

What's with the lack of respect by pouring his own tea first????

[@ErraticFaith]

You aren’t supposed to see through the illusion with small details like that. Reformed Wudang isn’t a real tradition. But then you likely guessed that already.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Since tea is a hot beverage, pouring your guest's portion after yours would mean his remains hotter when both of you start drinking, thus Master Gu's way is actually the polite way ☕☕

[@annettekelly6446]

Master Gu, thank you for your time, your words... We can practice inner calm and living in the present....we can use this time wisely! 🙏💕

[@lynnmckenna9934]

Master Gu and Eli- you made my day. Thank you for this beautiful discussion- you are helping me to rebalance my energy around this situation! I am committing to adding more Qigong practices each day.

[@c4CHIN]

Social or physical distancing or isolation is a wise and healthy idea anytime anywhere

[@zeph6439]

As fear or weakness is as hollow as hope, and love is strength, then it makes sense to just have faith in the way things are and love the world as yourself. Every time it rains, the sun always comes out afterwards, and most people recover anyway from this virus..

[@Crystal-Isabelle]

years later, the truth slowly reveals itself, without surprise for some of us, and it ain't what we've been given to believe it was - nor was and still not is what's been called the cure

[@nole8923]

A toast master? I think I used to have one of those at one time.

[@natefialkoff8258]

Should the Daoist try to prevent the coronavirus? It seems that right now, the corona virus is natures course? I also wondered: if you or some other daoist master contracted the corona virus, how might you react within yourself? Or, is it possible for the daoist master to actually contract such a disease?

[@mastergutaichi]

Nate Fialkoff That's partially my meaning. If it has been caused by some animals, Man should simply eat the bitter fruit and not complain. What we do is learning a big lesson and learn to respect nature. To establish harmonious relationship with it.

[@sebastiandolezyczek2317]

Master Gu you mentioned that the strong qi may prevent illnesses . Is it possible to use own qi energi to cure self?

[@mastergutaichi]

Certainly yes. We are actually our own doctor, or healer. Through practice under professional guidance, you will strengthen your own qi which serves as protecting wall. Evil qi ( epidemic staff) will be stop intruding your body.

[@sebastiandolezyczek2317]

@@mastergutaichi Thank you for this answer Master Gu. I hope that one day i will be able do this.

Its often used in qigong to heal yourself. If your qi is strong enough. It takes time to build up.

[@1Thedairy]

Beautiful sentiments but we must learn from this experience and prevent these wild animal markets from continuing to trade. More respect should be shown towards animals anyway if we should strive towards a harmonious world.

[@adriancaldwell]

Well said. We are the most self centred self obsessed species on the planet. Even now we concentrate on finding 'inner peace' instead of liberating the poor animals

This is lovely.....however, this is not the average experience during this time.....the wealthy can indulge in this but people out of work or working on the frontlines or living with underlying issues that makes this pandemic even scarier cannot just sit back and calmly discuss and philosophize. I would love not having to worry about myself or my mom in a nursing home. Adaptability......to what exactly? Millions of death? Easy to say all this high on the mountain top!

Habe gerne zugehört. Das Wesentliche blieb mir verborgen? Oder bleibt dieses Gespräch sehr an der Oberfläche? - Eine wundervolle Landschaft! - Ich wünsche frohe Ostern allseits! U.a. mir auffallend: Der Meister schenkt sich zuerst ein:) - Der Schüler spricht unnötig lange - "ein westliches Verhalten?" - auch bei ihm fand ich keine Essenz, die mir das Verständnis des Coronavirus oder den taoistischen Umgang mit ihm näher gebracht hätte.

[@peaceloveandstrength543]

I have a question. I was reading that a qigong master in the 1930’s or 1940’s was dying of tuberculosis and he watched his brother die beside home. He started reading an old qigong book and did the simple qigong lying on his back and did it for many hours of the day (because he had nothing else to do because he was so ill). He slowly progressed each day and eventually healed himself of tuberculosis and helped the people in his ward heal their tuberculosis. My question is do you think that tai chi and qigong and cultivating qi can help prevent or maybe even cure covid-19 because the immune system would be so healthy and harmonious along with all of the tantiens, etc.?

[@JP-lj2lq]

Hello there is a very similar report of Zen master Hakuin, who was suffering from Chi sickness( some say it was probably tuberculosis).He searched for a Taoist Hermit that teached him the Butter meditation. Your emotions control hormonal release to an extent, so visualization with will power may have some effect. Will be interesting to get feedback from the master. Thank you

[@johnsmith9430]

You probably read an one of the early books of Mantak Chia. There is description of qigong master who suffered of tuberculosis during 1900s when he had 28 years. After simply practice of concentracion on dantien during 85 days, 2 hours x 4 time per day he was cured.

[@johnsmith9430]

www.amazon.com/Awaken-Healing-Energy-Through-Tao/dp/0943358078

[@johnsmith9430]

This information came from a british doctor who lived in Hong Kong, not from Mantak Chi who never wrote a book in his life, but all his books was written by others. So, read this valuable experience, but shy away from teaching of "Grand Master" Chia. : )

There are physical tools and there are mental tools. You must sharpen your mental tools and your physical body will respond.

[@angelaem205]

That was a video with very useful information. And I am always in favour of being calm while in sickness. It helps you to keep a calm state when you actually get sick because it helps your body fight off the disease more easily. Unfortunately I live in a city with millions of people. It isn't easy to keep healthy and I am mainly concerned for my older relatives since their immune system is weak with old age and I am constantly in buses, metro, work, etc passing around microbs, infections, etc. That does make me worry a lot...it is a factor I can't control, another loved one's chi which is deteriorating with old age... I have a question for Master Gu though. If you had a student and while in training he got seriously sick, what would you do? Stop training and isolate him? Stay with him and risk an infection yourself? Thank you for sharing another great video with us, I am grateful for your wisdom and teachings. 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️👏☯☯

[@mastergutaichi]

Hello Angela for asking questions. When you are in a big city, it's like a high speed rotating machine. Your health very much rely on your calm state of mind; you have no way to move away the other negative elements. The way out is finding time and come to Wudang Mountains - an unpaired spot for wellness. When the situation you mentioned happened in our school, we will at first place send him to nearby hospital. What we do is offering wellness skill for you not to get ill.

[@dball501]

Thank you!!!

[@orlandofurioso5]

Thank you,,,!

[@End-Result]

This was very intriguing, however the "negative energy" part is not really backed up by the evidence.

[@LaifuLama]

"Wudang Mountain is the original place of Taijiquan"?

[@tarjeik7162]

can the taoist master talk about the axis of evil: Xi - CCP?

[@lovelove9108]

Rule of thumb - student must always pour tea for the master. Master DON’T pour tea for the student..

[@ingo518968]

Are you also manipulating your informations?

[@ErikvanRavenstein]

Does the master not know there is no virus? Maybe the master is another servant.

[@karlsapp7134]

Really strange that he poured his own tea first...never see that before.

[@cyrus7457]

i thought the same haha, and he just about did pour it first for him and then went to his cup....

[@palmerplantagenet]

I honestly thought the master poured tea for his guest or student first, and also the same amount.(?) Maybe that does not apply to one's student?

[@ruoshui8542]

Art Palmer Keen eye! It was actually a refill. 😉

[@ErraticFaith]

It does apply. The teachers of Wudang are not of a legitimate lineage or tradition so they don’t actually follow any historical principle. Modern Wudang was restored from history (fraud) by the CCP who have Zhong Yunlong (the current grandmaster) in their back pocket. Some of the Chen Taiji family have mentioned this in Hong Kong previously but the CCP will also admit it themselves (if you directly approach their cultural councils and committees). It’s shocking but basically a way of making money from fading culture. This angered people like Xu Xiaodong - as he believes them to be quite hypocritical. I.e they chase money greedily whilst being ‘Taoists’. Beware.

[@pa22re62]

The best tea to protect you from coronavirus is vodka

[@ruoshui8542]

And “vodka” of course means “little water”, so that seems appropriate! 😄
